Your Dog Is in Great Hands

The Nature of Dogs

Welcome to The Nature of Dogs, a haven nestled in the heart of Sacramento County that stands as a beacon of freedom and joy for our canine companions. Spread across nearly an acre of lush, tree-shaded terrain, our sanctuary is a testament to what dogs truly desire. Here, they have the liberty to stretch their legs, leap with abandon, engage in spirited play, or simply bask under the canopy of nature. Our outdoor expanse is not just an area; it's a realm where dogs can truly embrace their essence, without the illusion of indoor imitations.

At the core of The Nature of Dogs is our devoted team, each member a guardian and friend to your four-legged family members. With expertise in Canine CPR and First Aid, adept in the subtle art of canine communication and pack dynamics, our team members are not just staff; they are passionate enthusiasts of the canine world. They find joy and fulfillment in the wag of a tail and the gentle nuzzle of a furry friend, treating each dog with the same love and care as if they were their own.

Join us at The Nature of Dogs, where we celebrate the spirit of our canine pals in the truest, most natural setting.

Here, every day is an adventure, every moment filled with care, and every experience designed to enrich the lives of dogs and their human companions alike.
